History of Popular Culture—Week 6, Assignment 1

You’re in the last week of this course and have learned a lot about American Popular Culture from 1900 onwards. How has this information helped you, and how will you use this information in your particular area of interest in the arts and entertainment industry?

In my field of work and study, Interactive Media Design, it is important to know the history of elements of visual design that might be incorporated into my work. This course has shown me how visual design has affected popular culture and vice versa. Also, knowing where popular culture has come from visually helps to know where it might be headed.

What suggestions can you make for the betterment of the course?

Actually, this course exceeded my expectations. I don’t think I would want to see anything changed. Obviously, though, the course will need to evolve with popular culture as it progresses.
